As far as I can see there aren't any easy solutions. We're depending on libffi to calculate struct sizes for the typelib which is very much host and compiler dependent. g-ir-compile really needs to run on the target system the way things are setup right now. The same applies for the small generated program which introspects signals & properties, but that's probably easier to solve. In my opinion, supporting cross-compilation shouldn't be a blocker for integration into glib proper. It's more of a 'nice feature' to support. -- Johan Dahlin _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
